Laminated diatomaceous deposits have been documented in the Edisto Inlet (western Ross Sea). The sediments show alternating dark, rich in IPSO25 biomarker, indicative of fast ice, and light laminae, dominated by Corethron pennatum diatoms. Based on these observations, the dynamics of fast ice was re...
